The Argentinians I meet are always surprised to hear that my favourite Argentinian footballer of all time isn't Messi but Maradona. Man Maradona was a legend, and it was just on the football field, but also off it. He was a Communist, openly stood with Cuba, Palestine, and all oppressed peoples.

If we don't privatise everything that the people own and award contracts to the company that donates the most to a political party then where do we expect politicians to make money from when their terms end

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

The entire Alberta separatist movement is a US funded psyop to push Trump's fascist agenda across the border and fuel racism within Canada

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

This is more than a full quarter of votes cast in the last provincial election!
